The Queen of Hearts has Spring Fever with flowers and bunnies on the brain ;0)I stamped the Franco Face twice with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and used one as the base and the 2nd for the 'brain' stamping. I stamped the bunnies 1st with black Memento, masked with Pebeo Drawing Gum and then stamped the Doodle Flowers. Everything was coloured with Prismacolor pencils and then the 'brain' area was fussy cut out and layered on top of the base for a touch of dimension. I wanted a Tim Burton-esque Queen of Hearts so I drew a heart on her lips, gave her blue eyeshadow and a jeweled sticker heart instead of a beauty spot.

For the floral background I inked up the Doodle Flowers stamp with Dandelion, Cantaloupe and Potter's Clay Memento ink, fussy cut out leaving a narrow border and layered that onto a sheet of black cardstock embossed with a bubbles Cuttlebug embossing folder. The embossing folder was used twice to create the size I needed. The corners are punched with a Marvy decorative corner punch. The words "Spring Fever" were stamped with Lady Bug Memento ink, cut out and edged with black Sharpie and the card completed with a blue satin ribbon and bow. Everything was adhered and mounted onto a folded card made from white cardstock with Scotch Quick Dry adhesive.

Thank you for stopping by to see my project and I hope I've inspired you to come and play in our Flora and Fluffy Tails event over at Lost Coast Portal to Creativity!
